Takoyaki Man named Shin — 1 year ago
Living in Japan, I get a lot of people trying to speak to me in English. I had an experience at the Ueno zoo with Shin.
Shin is a takoyaki maker. I happened to be walking by when I got a very jubliant ‘hello’ from him. In one breath he introduced himself and asked how I was doing without waiting for a response.
I didn’t buy takoyaki from him, but I’m sure it was delicious. If you go, tell him that Beth says hello. He wont know what you’re talking about, but maybe you’ll get some free takoyaki (doubtful, but you never know)
And yes, this zoo is amazing. You should definitely go if you have half a day in Tokyo.
